I took a chance on this even though i already had a conventional kettle. As it turns out, this ALOCs kettle is much more efficient than my other kettle. The 1.4L size holds enough water for two large mugs and heated up super-quickly on my Coleman camping stove, which puts out 10k BTUs. In just a few minutes, the water boiled. The other kettle which has a lot more volume, took a lot longer. The design has pleasing aesthetics and is smallish and lightweight. It's much smaller than my other kettle which will be retired. The price was very reasonable. The 1.43l size has a small footprint and was the right size for me. Backpacking minimalists trying to shave weight and size may want to go with a smaller size for solo trips, but for 2-person camping, I wouldn't want any less capacity. this hits a sweet spot of size, weight, capacity, functionality and price point. The build quality seems good and should be durable. My other kettle was stainless steel which is a heavier metal, but the aluminum ALOCS seems rugged enough for its intended use. There are only two minor nitpicks: The lid does not snap on and can get dislodged when pouring. (ALOCS should fix this in future iterations.) And, it doesn't whistle when it reaches boiling. I can live with both of these things, considering the tradeoffs: lighter, smnaller, more efficient. Review: Great pot! - Perfect size for single person. Light weight and well made.looking forward to using for many years.
